I have been having trouble like I'm sure everyone has once you can't spray outdoors with the fumes from rattle cans. I picked up a long hose from my local hardware store, conected it to the exhaust of my shop vac and ran it outside. The intake went into the bottom of the small box I have been painting in. It worked really well. I would say it got rid of about 80%. If anyone is going to try make sure you take the filter out of the shop vac. PB

Be careful that the shop vac does not explode the motor is not explosion proof and too many vapors and pow.

he is right, I was gonna say that spraycans are flammable and the shopvac motor can ignite the fumes

Watch out that the shop vac doesn't become a jet engine . ;)

All this time I thought I had a great idea. So much for that.

Actually, the idea isn't bad, the motor is... I'm trying to gin something up..
anybody know of a source for spark-free, (sealed :huh: ) safe, ventalation type motors.. ... Grangers maybe?
